During my “Computational Modelling for Biomedical Imaging” course, I had the opportunity to pursue a mini-project on modeling the diffusion patterns in the brain from diffusion MRI studies. This post will give a brief overview of diffusion MRI, the models I implemented, the results, and my biggest takeaways. Introduction to diffusion MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging … Continue reading Computational models for Diffusion MRI
I’m sure all of us, when learning something new, have had moments of inspiration where we’d think, “Oh wow! This idea makes sense and is so brilliant.” It’s these moments that I always look forward to, and what attracted me to machine learning was that I had these moments almost every day, only motivating me … Continue reading Bayes Theorem – A primer
Last June, I was overjoyed when I got accepted into the MSc Machine Learning program at UCL. Pursuing this degree was my aspiration every since the second year of my undergraduate studies. Although I must confess, making the shift from a pure life science subject to a quantitative one, I was quite nervous and didn’t … Continue reading Three Lessons I learnt during my Machine Learning degree
In November 2019, I completed my first Hackathon at the Microsoft Reactor in London. The Hackathon was organised by UCL’s Data Science Society in collaboration with Microsoft and American Express and the theme of the event was about leveraging data science for generating insights in the credit card industry. Particularly, within the competitive credit card … Continue reading Hackathon at Microsoft Reactor
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on society and the economy, causing a dramatic loss of human life globally and an increased burden on public health systems, food systems and various other industries. Recovering from effects of the pandemic and taking the first steps toward a more resilient and equitable future, is one … Continue reading Traverse
“Deep Learning” has become the buzzword of the 21st century! It’s used in so many applications and devices, like the iPhone where it does facial recognition to log in, Facebook where it helps in automatic tagging or Snapchat where it reads our face to apply funny filters. Extensive deep learning research is also happening in … Continue reading Deep Learning Demystified
“The 21st century is a digital book. … Your bank records, medical histories, voting patterns, emails, phone calls, your damn SAT scores! [The] algorithm evaluates people’s past to predict their future. …” Above is a dialogue from one of my favorite Marvel movies, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and I think it truly encompasses the … Continue reading What is machine learning?
Just last year, I had completed my undergraduate journey at UCL with a First Class Honors BSc in Applied Medical Sciences. As part of my degree, I got the opportunity to pursue a 9-month-long research project culminating in a dissertation. My project focused on using deep learning to automate the Cardiac MR image planning protocol. … Continue reading Automating Cardiac MR image planning using Deep Learning
Hi all, welcome to my blog! As the COVID pandemic and the lockdown period prevails, I thought this would be a good opportunity to startup my own website to share my experiences, learnings and the fun projects I’ve been working on. Just a little bit about myself : my name is Yoga Advaith(Yes I have … Continue reading Hello world!
